EST ANNOUNCES INDUSTRY CANADA APPROVAL OF NEW PRODUCT
KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON --- November 4, 1997 --- Electronic Systems Technology
Inc. (EST) (OTC: ELST), a manufacturer of wireless communications hardware,
today announced the Company's new product, the ESTeem(tm) 192V has been granted
Industry Canada, effective November 3, 1997.
The new ESTeem 192V boasts a RF data rate four times faster than the current
Model 85 and 95 products it replaces, while adding infrared and phone
interfaces to the radio area network (RAN). The standard infrared
communications port will allow the user to perform local programming and
diagnostic functions for the radio network without interruption of
communications over the RAN. The optional phone port in the ESTeem 192V
allows a communications gateway over existing phone lines providing remote
data access to and from the RAN world wide. The Model 192V offers over 50
software selectable channels at a data rate of 19,200 bps, 1 watt RF output in
the 72 to 73 MHz frequency range. The narrow band packet burst transceiver
allows networking of 253 devices in high EMF environments on a single
frequency using the industry standard RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 asynchronous
full duplex interfaces. The ESTeem's internal digi-repeating capability
allows routing data through a maximum of three ESTeems to extend the typical
line-of-sight range of 5 miles to approximately 20 miles.
Electronic Systems Technology, a publicly held Company since 1984, was
the first Company to develop the wireless modem and receive the United
States and Canadian patent for this technology.
